Fourteen animals including a llama and a pony escaped from a petting zoo on Tuesday, leading to a mad scramble by officers and zoo workers to round them all up.

The animals had slipped through a hole in a fence in their enclosure at the petting zoo, and made a run for it, according to zoo officials.

The escapees included nine sheep, two donkeys, one llama, a pony and a dwarf bull.

And it was apparently every animal for itself as they all ran in different directions. The llama was spotted in a park, while the pony and donkeys made it into someone's back courtyard. Other animals wandered onto a playground.

Photos of the animals' excursion showed their frantic fleeing on social media.
